boycotts work. anyone who says otherwise is spreading pro corporate, pro government propaganda

Good gods GDC, read the damn room. It's not safe for anyone to travel to the US and SHIT, a lot of us don't even wanna be here right now. Move the conference out of the states

Omg Silksong has some absolutely fantastic bosses. I was legit sad to win a few of them haha

So excited for Borderlands 4 ahhhhhh!! Congrats to the team and especially my friends at Gearbox on getting to the finish line!! Can't wait for tomorrow to start getting down!!

Someone shot up my kid's school today, and our governor is paying tribute to a guy who thought that is an acceptable price to pay for having the Second Amendment. Jared Polis has failed Colorado.

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

They’ll ask you to mourn the deaths they mourn, and no others. They’ll ask you to cherish the lives they cherish, and no others.

when gun violence happens to children at schools it’s not political it’s just the cost of freedom in america. when it happens to a guy who makes his living in part by telling people that gun violence is the cost of freedom in america gun violence becomes political

Happy 40th anniversary to "Thundercats". Opening animated by Masayuki (who was only 22 years old at the time).

because we keep getting laid off by dipshits with an MBE, Joe

Sherma from the hit game Silksong 🎵

I always love those lists of "35 under 35," but as I get older, I find that I would love to know about innovations/art from people over 65. "65 over 65" please. Elders have incredible ideas that are the result of having seen the full lifecycle of previous ideas and learned from it.

here's my take after years of study: making games is a distinct craft with disciplines that are specialized to that craft. programming a game is different than programming a website. animating a game is different than animating a movie. writing for a game is different than writing a screenplay.

Gods not you too, NPR. Keller Gordon, please... be better and just click the credits option in the game and look at how many MORE than 3 people contributed to this production.

Soon it will be time to art, but first some music, breakfast, and a little Silksong.

Worked some more on it! Happy Silksong everyone :D

Watching folks new to Hollow Knight as a franchise react to jumping into to Silksong raw has been WILDLY entertaining.

Listening to the Mantis Lords track while battling Steam to buy Hollow Knight: Silksong is a wonderful Thursday morning. So happy this game is here.

Reminder: if you are worried about AI replacing you as an artist: don’t use AI voices, If you don’t want composing to be handed over to AI: don’t use it to write text. You get the idea. If you value your job: protect others jobs too.

It's my absolute pleasure to present to you our labor of love: Poly Fighter! We are HeartLoop Games! ♥

I love the smell of consequences in the morning. Thank you, @dragoncon.org

Ooo I just found the demo of OVIS LOOP and after playing for maybe an hour I am really impressed!! It's got combos, mad abilities, customization, an interesting narrative theme, dope animal designs, and some lite rouging!! Seriously diggin this so far! store.steampowered.com/app/2226730/...

Back in 2017 (jfc) I interviewed Team Cherry about how they designed Hollow Knight's map, and got a bunch of sketches and mockups from throughout the game's development to go with it. Bringing it back in anticipation of Silksong!

Snoop's ignorance reminds me of this dynamite passage from Bill Russell's book "Second Wind." He wrote this in 1979 and it still applies today: People use children to express their bigotry and narrow-mindedness.

Also, here’s the full body redesign of Samus! #SamusAran #metroid

Hey look, three of my games are currently discounted on Steam! Explore 1920s Miami, become a detective in an alternate 19th century city, and trek across the wild western frontier, all for less than $30! store.steampowered.com/curator/4430...

Donkey Kong Bananza is so fun. I'm diggin its design cohesion and the characters are so loveable. It's clear that the game was structured around a simple pillar that must have been something like: Breaking stuff is fun so let's do it creatively. Also I get Splatoon 2/3 vibes from it frequently.

BREAKING: Silksong will be out on September 4. Two weeks from today. Really. Often, games that take 7+ years to make are plagued by mismanagement and painful burnout. But for Silksong? Team Cherry was having a blast. They still are. This is their story: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Silksong time!!

you know an industry is super healthy and good for the long haul when on one hand record numbers of people are getting laid off, and on the other, this is happening

Just found a weather widget that displays weather in C and F simultaneously so I can start to learn Celsius more instinctually. I've got too many Canadian coworkers to be over here Fahrenheiting all the time

October is going to be AMAZING for game releases holy shit. Absolum Ghosts of Yotei VTM Bloodlines 2 Mina the Hollower Also I'm going to need to get that cloning machine up and running by Sept... Oh wait Borderlands 4 is coming out then lmao Straight up an embarrassment of riches 😍

Adrian Bliss hitting the nail on the head - that stare into the camera at the end, chef kiss 👌 “Making Art In 2026”

Just make it exist first, you can make it good later

I mean....I kinda need it

I know a lot of you have already heard or read about BDS Movement's call against Microsoft, and felt weird and bad about it all, but decided to move forward as normal because of some degree of ambiguity. "What service is Microsoft providing?" Here it is, clear as day. A direct line to death.

SonicFox!! Champ again!! So damn brilliant! #Evo2025

Sonic Fox NEVER disappoints. WOW what a comeback #Evo2025

Demand every processor tell you when they launched an investigation into steam, itch, patreon, and what illegal content they found. When they say it's because theyre "high risk", ask them why they're discriminating against protected groups. Repeat. They're blaming each other because they're scared.

Way to go GOG!! Love this

Holy crap yes!
